HOW DOES IT WORK?

Pulse arc welding (or micro TIG welding) uses electrical energy to create a plasma discharge. The high-temperature plasma, in turn, melts metal in a very small spot, a process that takes place in milliseconds. The process is clean, safe, and controllable. Pulse arc welding is perfect for permanent jewelry and closing fine chain of different metal types.

 

PERMANENT JEWELRY IN 6 EASY STEPS

ONE: Measure Out the Chain
After your customer has chosen their preferred chain, wrap the chain around the wrist or ankle and determine a fit that is not too tight nor too loose.  Mark the link on the chain you will cut.

TWO: Cut the Chain
Using the cutting pliers that come with the Sunstone Permanent Jewelry Kit, cut one side of the link in half. Do NOT cut the whole link in half.  Make sure the cut link does not fall off the chain.

THREE: Prep the Link for Welding
Using the two chain pliers that come with your kit, bend the two ends of the cut link away from each other to create a gap wide enough to slide the uncut link (on the opposite side of the chain) through the cut link.  Then bend the ends of the cut link back together.  This step is much easier if you purchase the Orion mPulse with 5x microscopic optics.

FOUR: Keep Your Customers Safe
Place your customer's wrist or ankle under the automatic darkening lens, with the lens facing the customer.  Instruct others in the room not to look directly at the chain when welding. Place the protective leather patch between the chain and your customer's skin to prevent a burn, which is unlikely but possible. Make sure your customer records the next step and posts to social media.

FIVE: Weld the Link Closed
On the Orion mPulse, select the power you'll need to weld the link closed. If you're unsure, start with a low amount of power, like 3 joules. Using the chain pliers that come with your kit, apply pressure to both ends of the cut link to bring them together. While maintaining pressure on both ends with the pliers, touch the joint to the electrode. The Orion mPulse will create a weld. Check the weld for position and strength.

SIX: Polish the Chain
Take the fiberglass brush that comes with your kit and polish the weld.  Some types of metal will leave more soot than others.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Orion mPulse PRO and the Orion mPulse?

If you're doing fine jewelry work, like welding jump‑rings, thin chains, delicate metals (small items, gold/silver, maybe small copper pieces), the regular Orion mPulse is often enough: precise, clean welds, good for “standard” permanent jewelry or light repair.

If you expect heavier use, or want to weld thicker/heavier metals, larger pieces, mixed metals or tougher tasks (e.g. chain repair beyond basic chains, small manufacturing, more load‑bearing welds), the PRO is more future‑proof: higher power lets you handle tougher jobs, more range gives flexibility, and you won’t quickly outgrow the machine.

For a mixed workshop where you sometimes need small delicate welds and other times stronger welds — the PRO gives you flexibility, whereas the regular weld is more limited to lighter jobs.

What metals can I weld with this machine?

The Orion mPulse is designed primarily for precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. The PRO version can also handle slightly heavier metals, mixed alloys, and small copper/brass plates. Very thick metals (>3 mm) may require multiple pulses or another welder designed for industrial metal.

How precise are the welds? Can I control the energy?

Both models offer precise energy control: fine increments at lower energy (under ~15 J), and 1 J increments above that. This allows delicate control for small chains while enabling stronger welds on heavier pieces with the PRO version.

What safety features does it have?

  • Digital pulse control prevents overheating.
  • Grounding clip ensures electrical safety.
  • Minimal spatter reduces burn risk.
  • Short pulse duration keeps heat localized.

Always wear protective eyewear when welding.

How portable is it? Can I use it at pop-up events?

Both units are relatively compact and lightweight. The mPulse is easier to move for small setups, while the PRO is slightly larger due to additional power. Both can work on a portable table, but ensure access to a grounded outlet.

What about maintenance and consumables?

  • Electrodes: Tungsten electrodes are consumables; lifespan depends on weld volume.
  • Maintenance: Keep the stylus and grounding clip clean; check connections regularly.
  • Support: Sunstone offers replacement parts, support guides, and consumables globally.
